"you responded to comment 8, and I quote... “Whether he was a citizen of the US is a matter for US law, not Canadian law...”

No, I wrote comment 8, in which I was responding to this, by quote:

"When Cruz was born on Dec. 22, 1970 in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, Canada didn't allow for dual citizenship, indicating Cruz was only a citizen of Canada."

That statement says Cruz was only a citizen of Canada because Canada didn't allow for dual citizenship. Which is nonsense because Canadian law doesn't control who is a US citizen. As I pointed out.

To which you are wrong because at the time of Cruz's birth, BOTH his parents had filed for and were lawful “PERMANENT” residents of Canada awaiting to perfect their Canadian citizenship. And since Raphael Sr. was NEVER a US citizen, the place of residence & the legal status of the father absolutely governed the child's nationality, 100%.

Just because a statute is retroactive, does not make it so at the actual time of birth. The US government has not authority to govern the status of children born to foreigners in foreign countries. ZIP! And that is why the CRBA states, ” A Consular Report of Birth Abroad (CRBA) is official evidence of United States citizenship, issued to a child born abroad to a U.S. citizen parent or parents, who meet the requirements for transmitting citizenship under the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA).. “

Hence the reason the law defined Cruz as a "nonquota" immigrant at the time the child was brought to the US. And so it is not surprising that rather than release his paperwork, Cruz has elected to use some of the same sleaze ball establishment lawyers to hide the fact that he is not constitutionally qualified to assume to the office of the president AND vice president.
